IS THIS the best $2000 prebuilt of the year? In this entirely transparent, hands-on review of the iBUYPOWER Element 9, we put the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5070 Ti combo to the ultimate test. We reveal the thermals, fan noise, 1080p, 1440p & 4K benchmarks, and the hidden cooling issues that you need to know about before buying.
Is the single exhaust fan and loud performance mode a dealbreaker, or does the price-to-performance ratio make this a winner? Stick around, because I also reveal a much better alternative for the exact same price.
